Ask the commentators questions during Marcialonga – news Sport – Sports news, results and broadcasting schedule

news broadcasts the long-distance race Marcialonga from Italy at 08.00, Sunday 29 January. Both before the race and during the race, you can submit questions here to commentator Ole Kristian Stoltenberg and expert Simen Østensen. Several spectators have noticed that some elderly gentlemen with start numbers are constantly being passed on the course, and asked the commentators who this is. – It must belong to the 50th anniversary, as it is the 50th time Marcialonga has been organised, says Stoltenberg. – It is a class where you go with traditional, good old-fashioned ski equipment, adds Østensen. This is a class that is reserved for 50 athletes, who will walk the entire course with equipment from before 1971, which was the year the race was organized for the first time. Guest commentator and professional cyclist Carl Fredrik Hagen was challenged by a viewer as to how long he could keep up with the group at the front: – We have to think that I have never had stakes like they do now. I think realistically, if I were to start today and stick with the lead, I would have followed at full throttle for a couple of kilometres, believes Hagen. – But isn’t it the capacity that matters?, asks commentator Stoltenberg. – It depends on specific strength and technique at high speed, so I had fallen through, says Hagen, who refers to a space Christmas race where he met runners from Team Ragde and took part in their warm-up where they had to jump. – It didn’t take many minutes before I had to help with the legs, and the athletes were just warming up, he says.
